Convener, Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, Chief Edwin Clark, has condemned the planned arraignment of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT)<\/p>\n

\n
\n

DAILY POST reports that the government will on Monday, January 14, 2019, arraign the CJN before the Justice Danladi Yakubu led-Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja on charges of failures to declare his assets as required by law and for operating Bank Domiciliary Foreign Currency Accounts.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0charges against Justice Onnoghen\u00a0were filed and served on him last Friday at his official residence in Abuja preparatory for his appearance at the tribunal.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Clark in an interview with Daily Trust, described the move by Buhari and APC \u2018as an attempt to rig the forth coming general elections.<\/p>\n

According to him, the South South people will resist the move against the CJN, because the game plan of the Buhari administration is to sack Justice Onnoghen and get a more pliant CJN that will pander to the whims of the government.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cThe news of the arraignment of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen before the Code of Conduct tribunal (CCT) on Monday has come to us as a shock because there is nothing to show that this man has not been doing his job properly.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThere is nothing to show that he is corrupt; simply because they want to rig this election, they want to remove him to put somebody who will do their bidding after the election; otherwise, there is no basis for harassing the judiciary,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, it was the Acting Director General of the Department of State Security Services (DSS), Matthew Seyeifa who was removed and somebody who was retired was appointed to take his place.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Niger Delta regions would resist the arraignment of Justice Onnoghen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deserve some respect. So, we will resist this one, and I understand that our governors had meeting on this matter too and we will all come together.\u201d<\/p>\n
